TWD - Pear-Comte Tart - Pear Comte Tart

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is pear Comte Tart. It comprises a short crust pastry, coated with mustard and filled with an egg/cheese mixture and topped with sliced pears.

It’s quite a pretty tart. I just used garden variety cheddar.

This tart made the perfect light meal served with salad.

TWD - Cranberry Spice Squares

 

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Cranberry Spice Squares. Except getting fresh or frozen cranberries is impossible here, so I used redcurrants that I froze from Christmas. Same same, don’t you think?

These squares are a squidgy, moist (yes, I said it) gingerbread studded with sharp tangy berries. Three sorts of flour are used to give the squares earthiness (I only used plain flour and wholemeal flour because I didn’t have rye flour.) They smell like Christmas when baking.

The squares are meant to be frosted with cream cheese icing but I didn’t have any cream cheese. They are fine without it.
